Yes. In polar bonds, electrons between atoms are shared unequally. The more electronegative atom has a high electron affinity, pulling the shared electron (and ajacent atom) closer to it, creating a shorter, stronger bond.

Are non-polar molecules more attracted to other non-polar molecules or polar molecules?

Non-polar molecules are generally more attracted to other non-polar molecules due to the similar distribution of electronic charge. This attraction is known as London dispersion forces. Polar molecules tend to interact with other polar molecules through stronger dipole-dipole interactions or hydrogen bonding.


Why do oil and water hate each other?

Water is polar while oils are non-polar. Molecules that are polar will mix with other polar molecules, and non-polar molecules will mix with other non-polar molecules. Polar and non-polar molecules will not mix.


Is polar bond stronger than non polar bond?

metal will conduct elecricity


How do polar and non-polar bonds interact with each other?

Polar molecules reacts with polar molecules and non-polar molecules react with non-polar molecules.


Are molecules in the compound likely to be polar or non polar if it has a relatively high boiling point compared to molecules with similar mass?

Polar molecules of smilar size to non-polar molecules have a higher melting and boiling point due to their stronger force of attraction.. eg. CO2. which is non-polar, you can can find free floating in the atmosphere whereas a polar molecule such as Water, doesn't boil until it reaches at least 100(Co) degrees. i like dump


Why do polar covalent molecules have higher melting points than non polar covalent compounds?

They maintain their bonding far longer than nonpolar molecules can with the addition of heat energy. Remember their slightly negative ends will bind with the slightly positive ends of the adjacent molecule.


Why non polar molecules diffuse more rapidly through membranes than polar molecules?

The implication of non-polar molecules diffusing more rapidly than polar molecules to the transport of substances through the plasma membrane is quite significant. Concentrate gradients are established which facilitate the transport of vital molecules.


Are hexane molecules polar?

No, hexane molecules are non-polar.


What is the implication of non-polar molecules being fatser than plar molecules through the cell membrane?

The implication of non-polar molecules being faster than polar molecules through the cell membrane is seen in the transport of essential molecules like glucose. This is made possible through the gradients that are established as a result of this.


What prevents lipids mixing with water?

Water is polar, but lipids are nonpolar.


Why polar gases liquefy easily than non polar gases?

Non polar gases have very low critical temperature. Non polar gases have weak forces of attraction between their particles. They cooled to very low temperature. Polar gases have high value of critical temperature. The inter molecular forces are very strong . So polar gases have better tendency to be converted into liquid.
